The mission of the Office of Instruction is to enhance the learning experience for all students and to provide faculty with the tools they need for success in and outside the classroom.

Your gifts to the Office of Instruction make this possible and ensure students have access to a high-quality education and the best resources available.

Vice President’s Fund for Instructional Excellence

The Vice President’s Fund for Instructional Excellence is developed out of the Office of Instruction, which oversees units that enhance the student academic experiences, including the First-Year Odyssey Seminar Program, Experiential Learning, Active Learning, Washington Semester Program, and student academic resources. The Fund for Instructional Excellence is used to diversify the learning experience for students by providing opportunities through these programs for international engagement; technology, programmatic, and student support; and scholarships. The fund also is used to provide faculty with the means to improve teaching and learning through innovative instructional projects.

To find out more about these and other ways to support student success from start to finish, please contact Graff Wilson, development coordinator for the Office of the Vice President for Instruction, at (706) 542-3493.
